Waking up in Las Vegas after 8 years of having not been there gave cause for some serious photo sessions. Well two to be exact. This is the first of two awesome shoots I did in Vegas.. Plus next week I will be recapping my awesome trip to the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas with Condé Nast Traveler Magazine.

I thought I would re-post my Mac and Cheese recipe on this Thanksgiving.. I won't be cooking it this year since my family and I decided to go a bit non traditional and head to the Rooftop at the Montage Hotel and soak up the 80 degree L.A. sun.

So for those of you having a late dinner and in search of a great recipe... Enjoy..

With Thanksgiving one day away we all seem to be preparing for the day ahead of eating and being with family with a concise energy. However you may define family. Weather it's hanging with friends, actual blood relations or just your sweet little furry best friends you want to make sure you do it in comfort.

For us ladies and some of the guys out there our hair is a big deal. I can imagine that most of us spend more time making sure our hair is exactly how me want it than going to the gym... I'm willing to actually bet on it. So discovering new salons in my city is one of my favorite past times. Besides New York, Los Angeles is the mecca of hair. You can find some type of hair establishment on almost every block. From the mom and pop set ups to the big Beverly Hills establishments and I have been and loved plenty of them.. Us Angelinos take our salons very seriously..

So when a friend suggested I try out the newly opened Spoke and Weal on West 3rd street I was more than happy to oblige.

Am I the only person in shock that the week of Thanksgiving is upon us..? Okay maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration. Not necessarily shock.. but I am seriously in awe of how fast a year can fly by. Last week was filled with super cool events, brunches and brand previews. I adore a good brand preview.. seeing what's in store for all of us for the season to come is super exciting. Get ready guys.. next Spring is already looking amazing clothing wise...

Sometimes you have to walk on the side of life you never thought or expected to walk on.. The roads most traveled in the universe may be the roads less traveled in our own personal world.. leading to totally unexpected and wonderful journeys along the way..

I am headed out to the city of lights for a fun weekend with Conde Nast Traveler.

Drinking pumpkin lattes with extra whipped cream, indulging in bitter sweet hot cocoa covered in marshmallows and living in neutral chunky knits are all mandatory for winter.. and with many areas of the country and the world going straight from summer warmth to super chilled temperatures spontaneous trips to local boutiques, malls and our favorite websites are also becoming mandatory.

Last Friday I headed back to the TYT Studios to shoot Styleogue,not to be a guest.. but to
co-host this weeks awesome episodes.. Yay.. I always have a blast chatting it up
about all things fashion.. On this episode myself, host Francis
Maxwell and Guest Rienaldo Irizzary chatted about the beautiful Adele,
her amazing style and dressing for your body type..

I'm not what would be considered a "girly girl" by any means, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. I gravitate towards edges and strong silhouettes. Many times for me the baggier the better.
You will most likely find me in a silhouette that doesn't say "girly girl".. but says "womanly woman". Allow me to explain..

It's finally really feeling like fall in LA.. and I know this has been said more than a few times.. but seriously.. it's been quite chilly the last few days.. and I for one I am excited.. I have been dying to not only wear a bit of my score from the Alexander Wang x H&M collab but I have also been dying to rock a cozy knit... And cozy knit I did..

One of my all time favorite trends in bags is finally back and back with a passion. The Bucket bag.. A symbol of chic yet effortless style as of late has been hanging from the shoulders of fashionistas and the like. I too super willingly have joined the bucket list. (SeeHere)

Here's the thing about a good bucket bag.. Its big enough to fit all your stuff in. Yet small enough to not be mistaken for an overnight bag.. Yet big enough to take overnight.. Unless you decide to sport a mini bucket.. Which I too adore.. Then you are just being awesome!

Yet another shirt/skirt makes an appearance here on Stuff She Likes.. I have become slightly obsessed.. If you missed the first installment click HERE. This time around I enlisted the services of my awesome Pam & Gela sweatshirt to make this here skirt...

I find it wonderful how a persons style can be ever evolving.. ever changing..yet constantly contain a through line that defines them. Some form of outer wear has been a constant through line for me through the years.

Celebrating classics, celebrating tradition and celebrating style... Individual style is all about maintaining a sense of who you are while exposing your individuality.

I partnered up with Dodge to celebrate 100 years of this classic American car by showing off my classic style. Branded by its consistency and ability to change yet remain true to its brand over time, like the Dodge Charger, my style is classic yet remains true to my individual self.

I don't know about you ..but as the weather and seasons change.. my skin
tends to freak out and every year its a different level of
freak out. One year it was tiny pimples all over my face.. UGH!
Another year it was dry flaky skin that no matter how much I slathered it
in oils and lotions it just stayed dry and flaky.. EWW! ... And this
year at the beginning of the summer my skin decided to take on a strange
texture, i'm talking lizard like...AWESOME! Ahh the fun of weather
mixed with female hormones!

This is is where the famed LA spa and skin care clinic to the stars Kinara comes in.

Cozy...Cozy...Cozy... Those were the first thoughts that flowed through my head when I saw this sweater.. My second thoughts were Fringe..Fringe...Fringe.. A new slash old obsession.. Fringe while it can easily go so wrong.. it very often goes so Boho Chic.. and that's a good thing!

Since those of us here in LA are experiencing a very temporary few days of Fall (yay!), that will be invaded by 84 degrees by the time Wednesday arrives, I thought I would post something weather appropriate for L.A. and those places in the world that are experiencing summer right now like Australia and South Africa.
